This is useful, but it can also be a security risk because the new window can control the original window that opened it. To prevent this, web developers can add a special code called "noopener" to the link, which stops the new window from being able to control the original window. It's like putting up a fence between the two windows to keep them separate and safe from each other.

🧭Website
📈SEO
🌍What is

When a search engine crawls a webpage, it follows all the links on that page to discover new pages to index. By default, search engines assume that all links on a webpage are trustworthy and follow them to the destination page. However, sometimes website owners may not want search engines to follow a particular link, such as if it's a paid link or a user-generated link that may be spammy or low-quality.

Adding the rel="nofollow" attribute to a link tells search engines not to follow that link, and therefore, not to pass any "link juice" or ranking power to the destination page. This can help prevent spammy or low-quality links from affecting a website's overall search engine rankings.
